(I thought that might make you laugh...I dunno how else to help someone with depression other than to make them chuckle then tell them to try relaxation excersizes like slow breathing, since posting suicide hotline numbers just makes depression worse and telling someone to seek therapy rarely works either)

my boss quit and there was big what to do about it 

he worked with me alot with my appointedments

If your boss quits, that means he isn't your boss anymore; he's your friend.

Ask him if he'd be willing to take you out to the clubs and be your wingman.

One door closes, another opens.

becucse  it means alot changes with the new boss when we get one

higher up are handling things rigth now

Are you certain those changes will necessarily be bad? It can be a stressful time, but I think trying to think on the bright side of things will help you a bit.

What do you mean by "a lot of changes?" 

Not to be insulting, but I'm pretty sure the majority of structural changes within the company shouldn't effect employees at your station.

I'm pretty sure unless you have specific things you're worried about then you're worried about nothing.

Seriously though; if you were cool with your old boss prior to his departure there is absolutely no  law stating you can't transfer a previous positive boss/employee relationship into a friend/friend relationship.

And if this is somebody you're already used to taking orders from, I can't help but feel like they'd be the perfect guy to encourage you to talk to that cute, socially awkward girl across the bar.

in all sincerity, you must try not to think of what 'might happen' (a difficult task at best)

you need to perhaps do a couple things to let your mind go of this 'impending doom' that you are imagining (again, easier said than done)

try a few things, if only to get out of your head.

1. go for a walk, and think of a story of the things you see (i.e. you see 2 people talking, adlib their convo~make it amusing)

2. try a memory exercise. look at everything in your view for 30 seconds. close your eyes and try to remember everything. test your memory skills.

3. look up some comedy skits. whoever your favorite comedian is. escape.

5. write your feelings down on paper. like a letter to the 'demon of what might happen'. cuss it out, laugh at it, etc. then ....burn it. 

6. meditate. 

7. (and this would actually be my first) smoke a bowl.

*edit* also, just let the new management know that you have standing appointments that have been in motion for some time. you can't

be fired for attending appointments, especially if you make up the hours. but i agree with sponges, i don't think at your level (no offense) i don't know 

that you have anything to worry about.

I'm just saying; if your depression is caused by the departure of this individual, there's no reason to be sad.

If you're cool with him hit him up.

Don't even need to go out: either of you have a video game system?

Plug that motherfucker in, order a pizza, and chill with your homie.

If the person in charge for schedule requests for medical reason doesn't give in to them, this is when you contact HR. There really shouldn't be any problem.

But it's too early to say anything. The new boss might be better. Just realize change is happening, accept it, and adjust.

Dealing with depression isn't easy , and it can be pretty debilitating . Seeing someone would be the first step. I'm sure there are programs in your area that can help you , and depending or your insurance situation and income it would probably cost you little to nothing . But till then you gotta be tough , believe that things will be ok and they will be .

Depression always comes in waves, over time you learn how to ride them out.  Some people can do it by talking things out, some people can do it alone, some people need medication.  It's up to you to figure out which one you are, unfortunately, but the fact you recognize it is a good step, it means you know you need to fight to keep swimming.

It's a cliche metaphor, but it's literally the best one.

After skimming through this thread, I'm gonna go with yea - try smoking some weed if it doesn't risk you losing your job. You could also micro dosage shrooms as well.
